>six weeks 'cure' paid for every two years by the health insurance


Oh yeah Gaby. My friend Doro got approved by insurance for one of those.
Not sure if she got 6 weeks or not.

Gee, maybe if they had that here, we'd all be less grumpy and out-of-sorts.
Maybe, the Repubs and Dems could go to one together. They might go back to
D.C. and actually accomplish something....NAH!

Somehow the picture of 18
wheelers and those don't seem to go together

LOL , yeah, cant see a bunch of 18 wheelers parked at the end of
Canal.
Lived for a good year in Bad Oeynhausen, a spa town in Germany with,
of
course, a 'real' casino. Looks like a huge stretched out castle with
a dome,
located smack in the middle of the spa park (this spa is NOT an
exercise gym
like the French Riviera, but a town with healing springs, rehab
clinics,
totally wheelchair friendly all the way to the dance halls, yes, the
folks
using wheelchairs do dance there, plenty 'spa houses' with mud packs
and
whatnots, six weeks 'cure' paid for every two years by the health
insurance)
Their casino is not glitter and fake but has real antiques etc,

During a vacation, we strolled through the park with hubby, brother
in law
and sister in law, tourists in shorts and tennis shoes, tried to
take a look
at this casino as brother in law worked at the Treasure chest and
was
interested.
Me being thoroughly amerispoiled by now, totally forgot the dress
code. No
tie, No entrance.
So they have ties to 'rent', but we had shorts, and long pants and
shirt are
also a must. Would look to funny with shirts, T shirt and a tie.
Darn.
Totally forgot, being so used to comfy dress down nowadays.
Oh well, the outside was impressive, and hundreds of years old.

Oh, in today's time it is being changed to a Las Vegas type thing to
help
revive interest, and in light of the recent poker fever. I seem to
remember
it being converted into a hotel, to move the gambling into newer
buildings.
I personally liked it better the old way, but, again, money talks.
Sadly.

I am including a pic of the building, the big one in the back, dome
in
middle, stretched out. Dont think the pic will show up on the list.
Oh I am
homesick.
